Abstract (en)

Fairing (9) which closes the internal end of the elevator (3) of an aircraft with respect to the fuselage section (1) on which said fairing (9) moves, with said elevator (3) arranged on a horizontal stabiliser (2) of the aircraft, in such a way that the horizontal stabiliser (2) moves with a trim angle (±) with respect to the fuselage section (1) in turn rotating the elevator (3) with an elevator angle (ß) with respect to the horizontal stabiliser (2), with the fairing (9) maintaining a distance (6) with respect to the fuselage section (1) during its movement in which the aforementioned distance (6) is a minimised distance for all movement ranges of the elevator (3) both for the trim angle trim angle (±) of the horizontal stabiliser (2) and the elevator angle (ß) of the elevator (3), in this way reducing aerodynamic losses through parasitic resistance which is not caused by support of the aircraft. The invention also describes a procedure for obtaining the design of such a fairing (9).
